Draft Grade — Buccaneers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Buccaneers won the night they stopped Johnson from sliding. Grade: B-.

The Buccaneers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tez Johnson fell into the 121st pick. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The offensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If Horsley pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Mykel Williams
In No. 19 they get a problem off the edge. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53 Rnd2 Jack Sawyer
No edge and no loss on Jack Sawyer in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick84 Rnd3 Elijah Arroyo
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Elijah Arroyo at Round 3, Pick 20. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick121 Rnd4 Tez Johnson
They robbed the room for Tez Johnson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick157 Rnd5 Ryan Fitzgerald
Ryan Fitzgerald at the 157th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick235 Rnd7 Cam Horsley
They liked Cam Horsley enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 235. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
